I STAND IN THE HALLS OF BROAD RIPPLE HIGH AND WATCH THE PROCESSION OF YOUTH PASS BY. Four short years we have this fellowship together. During this brief interval we share the common purposes of our school. Striving constantly toward accepted goals, we are ever mindful of that which will make the largest contribution to the welfare of the group. The enthusiasm of youth tempered by the conservatism of experience strikes a well-balanced philosophy in the life of our school. Students and teachers in their classroom relationships come to appreciate the value of knowledge and its significance in the various fields of study, and both groups strive for high degrees of mastery. Outside the classroom, we come together in small and large groups, exhibiting special skills and talents in individual and group activities. We learn to recognize and to applaud excellency of performance. Desiring the best, we search for it in books, on the screen, over the radio, from the platform, in recreation, and in work. We move forward and upward, sharing with each other the bless- ings of our democratic society. In this great adventure — in our relationship as teachers and students — may we continue this rich fellowship which provides a wholesome, environmental inheritance, out of which will continue to grow a philosophy of peace and good will toward all peoples. May our high school continue to point out the way, and may truth prevail to the enrichment of life itself. KARLL VON AMMERMAN. •

Jacalhj A- Ambitious, Benevolent, Capable, Distinguished . . . One could alphabetize the numerous virtues of Ripple ' s faculty members. Untiring attempts to under- stand the problems of Miss and Master Ripple, and unf ailing kindness and good humor have made our thirty teachers as popular off the campus as on. Their devotion to educational ideals, their sincerity and modesty, and their ever-present, ever-active desire to teach the true, the good, and the beautiful commands the respect of the entire student body. The newly reorganized Student Council is evidence of the sincere cooperation of the faculty and students in our pursuit of knowledge at Broad Ripple. 72006E
